Nikki and Chad's Palm Beach wedding was filled with so many unique and fun surprises for their guests. Everything from the specially designed menu by the incredible chef Tyler Florence, to a surprise performance by Boyz II Men, to the reveal of the late night dance lounge with DJ Samantha Ronson wowed guests from beginning to end. Tyler worked with the amazing staff at The Ritz-Carlton to put together a show stopping meal - scallop saltimbocca with carmelized apple and crispy fried sage, asparagus and speck salad topped with the most delectable crispy poached egg, and a braised short rib and roasted filet with brussel sprouts, pancetta, and porcinis. It was phenomenal! After dinner, Boyz II Men made a cameo appearance to kick off dancing with Boogie Nights. And just when guests thought they had seen it all, we revealed a hidden dance lounge with DJ Samantha Ronson. Guests partied until well past 3 in the morning, but still had enough energy to make it down on Sunday to the "recovery brunch". Perhaps it was the hangover kits we had delivered to their rooms complete with aspirin, alka seltzer, and crackers?

My Favorite Detail? Did you notice the incredible cake from Perfect Endings below? Need I say more? It was 7 layers of delicious bliss.
